Many years ago the Rajput rulers of Rajasthan built a fort away from the “Thar” desert. The fort was surrounded by forest which they used as hunting ground. Over the years the fort changed owners, but the forest remained more or less the same. In 1955, however, the forest was established as sanctuary which was later declared a national park in 1980. Now every year thousands of tourist visit Ranthambore to experience this heritage forest and get a glance of the marvellous Royal Bengal Tigers.
